The setup: The Daily Beast recently listed the country's best cities to find a date in 2012—and Chicago didn't make the Top 25. (Atlanta was No. 1.) As we plunge into the new year, RedEye's staff debated Chicago's merits as a place to land boyfriends and girlfriends.

YES

1. You can walk down the street after the bars close while eating a piece of pizza and get asked out on a date by a stranger. Because this is Chicago. Eating is sexy.

2. Body heat is the best way to stay warm through cold winters.

3. Boy, do we love our alcohol. Drinking leads to increased friendliness, which leads to discoveries of mutual friends (you know you have plenty), which leads to "watching a movie at your place."
